This is a hand signed 16" x 12" Black and White photo of the former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion obtained at a signing session in America.

Leon Spinks (born July 11, 1953) is an American former boxer, who had an overall record of 26 wins, 17 losses and three draws as a professional, with 14 of those wins by knockout. He is the only man to hold titles in both boxing and wrestling. In only his eighth professional bout, Spinks won the undisputed world heavyweight championship when he beatMuhammad Ali on February 15, 1978, in what was considered one of the biggest upsets in boxing history. However, he was stripped of the WBC title for fighting Ali in an unapproved rematch seven months later, which he lost by a 15-round unanimous decision. Besides being heavyweight champion and his characteristic gap-toothed grin (due to losing two and later all four of his front teeth), Spinks gained notoriety for the disaster which befell his career following the loss to Ali.
